Hills that is” It all started when Brooklyn native Manny Halley sowed his seeds in the music industry by promoting his recording artists through his local hair salon in the ‘80s. Manny found business success through faith, family, hard work, and co-ownership of different franchisees such as Popeye’s Chicken and IHop. In 2009, in partnership with Stratis Morfogen, CEO of the Philippe Chow Restaurant Group, which has a location in New York, Manny opened Philippe in Los Angeles. After three and a half years on LA’s trendy Melrose Avenue, with a regular stream of celebrities and athletes that include Jay Leno, Oprah Winfrey, Kobe Bryant, and Carmelo Anthony, Manny decided to move his business to Beverly Hills. It proved the cliché that a family that prays, plays and work together will find success. Manny has now expanded his entertainment company by forming Imani Publishing, Imani Records and Imani Management. Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch personally welcomed Philippe and the Halley’s as the new kids on the block. “I’ve taken full control,” Manny tells The Hollywood Reporter.
